Educational Philosophy

For us, learning is about way more than performance on high stakes tests.

Mason City Schools strive to empower students and foster individual excellence by creating a learning culture that inspires innovation, leadership and global understanding. The Mason City School District delivers excellence every day for all students by assuring high impact learning, engaging parents and community, providing a safe and nurturing environment, and maximizing cost-effectiveness and efficiency. We work to ensure that all students develop the capacity and confidence to thrive and meet the challenges of college, career and a diverse and dynamic global society.
